    Elsa Marmursztejn is a lecturer in medieval history at the University of Reims, a member of the CERHiC (EA 2616) and an associate researcher at the CRH-GAS (EHESS).

    Scholasticism has a bad reputation. However, it was in the medieval university, and in particular in the Faculty of Theology in Paris in the 13th century, that scholarly opinions were formed and exchanged on very concrete topical issues that were of interest to society as a whole, including the margins: The merits of doctors, the obligation of tithing, the vow of religion, marital duty, commercial profit, royal taxation, legislation against usury, the forced baptism of Jewish children, self-defence in the case of rape or the flight of a condemned man were debated in 'extraordinary', public and optional disputes, called Quodlibets. In the second half of the thirteenth century, some masters devoted themselves more than others to this difficult exercise. This was the case with Thomas Aquinas, his contemporary (and opponent) Gerard of Abbeville, Henry of Ghent and Godfrey of Fontaines. The breadth and diversity of the issues suggest the competence of the masters to criticise, to propose, and even to judge in all fields; their multiple borrowings from legal sources and modes of resolution, combined with the denigration of jurists, confirm this claim to exercise a true 'intellectual jurisdiction' over society. Based on the analysis of scholastic debates, the author shows how the masters constructed their status of authority and the idea of their own social necessity. Knowledge and power are articulated here in the very practice of intellectual activity.
